Yeah, it's still alive . .. it just asked Kerry a question;
"why the long face?"

Island - factcheck lists its sources, and last time I checked, it demonstrated no significant bias I could see between Bush and Kerry.

When I read that peice, the bias was obvious, simply from the choice of words, and the developed subtext.
Also, let me point out that the site is funded by the Annenberg Foundation . .. they fund many "puplic" TV productions. NOT apolitical. (though they try to
appear as such)
Back to the piece. ..
The "article refnc" shows the birth of the bias. ( a bunch of pro-kerry works)
The most recent, and biggest bomb (against SBVfT) came from a piece by GLOBE reporter (and author of the official Kerry-Edwards campaign book, btw
) Mike Kranish.
Kranish's piece claimed that Captain George Elliott had RETRACTED his support for the SBVfT (perhaps do a "factcheck" on that nugget.)
Captain George Elliott then had to work to get the word out that " Mike Kranish was extremely inaccurate and highly misstating his actual views. He reaffirms his statement in the current advertisement paid for by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Captain Elliott reaffirms his affidavit in support of that advertisement, and he reaffirms his request that the ad be played. "
So, if "unbiased" is factcheck's objective, who ever wrote that "factcheck" should be fired.
Cam, something tells me that your critical-thinking cap would have been on, had that been an anti-Kerry "factcheck."
